about

A tribute to all the heroic men that, despite serious insecurity, keep on trying to conquer the dance floor!
Thanks Paul, for borrowing me your tune!
The song is followed by 'Elliot Finn MacDonald', a march composed by Scottisch piper Finlay MacDonald.

lyrics

Don Q's Scottish / Elliot Finn MacDonald

I dance, dance, dance,
Dance like a wind-up windmill
I put me body to the test
Like Don Quixote on a sunset hill.

I fear, I fall apart
Such strong frenzy frights
I do my Don Juan
Think that make’s me look all right

Puppet on a string
Jerky, electrified
Driven by a secret force
There is no gentleness inside

I dance, dance, dance,
Dance like a wind-up windmill
I put me body to the test
Like Don Quixote on a sunset hill.

I close me startled eyes
Far gone, it feels so good
Head, limbs, and the rest
Do they connect, I have no clue

I have to take the chance
Sweet girls on the floor
Give me these funny looks
I think I’ll dance no more!

No dance, dance, dance,
No dance like a wind-up windmill
No body putting the test
No Don Quixote on a sunset hill.



Words: Job Cornelissen.
Music: Paul Pallesen.
